| Abstract: | Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has for the past several years demonstrated its high value in oncology. The physiopathology of FDG explains its increasingly frequent use for inflammatory diseases such as vasculitis (giant cell arteritis or Takayasu's arteritis) as well as for granulomatous diseases (sarcoidosis, tuberculosis). The value of FDG-PET lies in its usefulness for the diagnosis of systemic diseases which includes a whole body analysis as well as a therapeutic evaluation. This review article will attempt to identify and illustrate the main features of this functional imaging. |
